The soundtrack
for the 2001 movie Onmyoji, featuring music done
by Shigeru Umebayashi. As a stand alone experience, the
disc makes for a fairly good listen. Granted, a lot of
the music isn't particularly memorable, and the "Spirit
Exchange Ritual" track is certainly not for everyone;
however, there are some very good themes here none the
same, with the most memorable one being the "Sword
of Anger" cue that was later reused in the movie's
sequel. Unfortunately, the soundtrack isn't quite complete,
missing some cues like the "stare off" music
when Seimei and Doson first meet. However, at 63 minutes,
this CD is still pretty full, while the two extra cues,
"Sonic Prayer" and "Depth of Mind",
are fairly good remixes of themes used in the movie.

As a side note, the cover features artwork by estimeed artist Yoshitaka Amano, famous for his work on Final Fantasy VI and Vampire Hunter D (1985). It's a great image featuring Siemei and Mitsumushi.
